[SATLUG] mdadm: how do i destroy an array

[Eli]

nevermind

i'm stupid.

not sure what the personalities info is for, but i have been successfully
creating and then destroying arrays.

i just didn't know that i was successfully destroying them.

(some unimportant messages about previous ext3 file system being detected
was throwing me off, followed by a raid 5 initial sync...which is normal)

all looks well.
